A collection of brief, lightly satirical reports from the AP on public interest fading. Housewives in Long Island skip Broadway matinees over rising round trip fares, politics loses vigor with many listeners, lurid Sunday supplements dwindle, and Mardi Gras seems dull to some residents.
The California State Fish and Game Department condemns the wasteful killing of fish and mammals by coastal power plants. Biologist James Fitch notes monthly losses of four to twenty five tons of sea life from intake water, urging immediate cooperation between the state and Southern California Edison to develop pumps and nets to protect aquatic resources.
A discussion cites the United States consuming vast fossil fuels for electricity with only 16 to 18 percent of potential energy used. It warns of natural gas shortages, rising oil demand, and argues for curbing electricity use, promoting solar energy, and considering taxes to slow demand while seeking a national energy policy.
Supporters frame Prop 9 as a needed clean environment measure while opposing the California Against the Pollution Initiative. The旨 proposition would set a .035 sulfur limit in diesel fuel per State Air Resources Board guidance, citing historical data from 1966 to 1970 on buses trucks and railroads operating below the prior standard.
The document critiques Proposition 9, arguing it tightens variances, imposes a five year nuclear moratorium, bans new drilling leases, and faces controversy over potential revenue losses. It cites officials including Alan Post and Ed Reineke, and frames the measure as politically motivated with public health and safety at stake.
The piece argues taxation, especially property taxes, dominates the 1972 race. It cites Wallace calling for relief by year end and Nixon facing pressure to propose comprehensive reform. It notes state legislatures moving to ease property taxes, potential value added tax debates, and the risk of shifting costs to income and sales taxes.
